bikerjohn Posted March 22, 2014 #1 Posted March 22, 2014 What a great ride today!!! Rich did his majic on my seat. This was the first long ride I have done since getting the mod done. What a difference!! Thanks Rick you Rock!!
VentureFar Posted March 22, 2014 #2 Posted March 22, 2014 Yup I thought the stock seat was comfortable until I sat on the same seat after rick modified it. I will say it sgain, thanks Rick!! VentureFar...
Phoneman1981 Posted March 23, 2014 #3 Posted March 23, 2014 My stock seat was good for 50 miles before I became uncomfortable and sore after a 150 miles. After Rick's modification I can now ride 350 miles or more in a day without discomfort. Well worth the reasonable cost.
dave_wells Posted March 24, 2014 #4 Posted March 24, 2014 Sent him my seat I have had it back for about a month Still have not been able to get out for a ride I do know sitting on it felt way better Now just to get out and ride Hearing all good about his work I look forward to it...

I'm in the same boat. Got my seat a couple months back, but I don't feel like sitting in 30 degree weather to test it. Not like there's anywhere to ride right now... but soon.
FEW Posted March 24, 2014 #6 Posted March 24, 2014 Gentlemen, So what's this seat mod we're talking about. Tried to find a link for it. My 86 seat is just the pits. Was going to buy a gel pad but wanted to see what the todo was about from Rick First. Thanks Roger:301:

KeithR Posted March 24, 2014 #8 Posted March 24, 2014 Anyone ever ship a seat from Canada to Rick ? Wondering how bad the shipping would be? Keith
coop Posted March 24, 2014 #9 Posted March 24, 2014 Rick did my seat as well. It looks great but I haven't been able to ride yet. Hopefully my butt will be as happy as yours ) Bob
gez Posted March 24, 2014 #10 Posted March 24, 2014 Everyone raves about the comfort of this seat mod. Does it get your butt any closer to the ground?
coop Posted March 24, 2014 #11 Posted March 24, 2014 not on mine..... but I do believe if offers that service for the vertically challenged. bob
Cougar Posted March 24, 2014 #12 Posted March 24, 2014 Everyone raves about the comfort of this seat mod. Does it get your butt any closer to the ground? YES he can, cut the thigh are like he did for me. This mod I had done about 5 years ago. and I have loved every ride with this mod. best mod ever. DO IT DO IT !!!!!!!
VentureFar Posted March 25, 2014 #13 Posted March 25, 2014 Everyone raves about the comfort of this seat mod. Does it get your butt any closer to the ground? Here is what he does on the 2nd gen. _ remember he is doing this with xxx years of experience but this is the list as I recall it. thins the thighs, digs out the tailbone area. covers with memory foam. The thinner thighs keep the seat from pushing outward on your legs and allows you to put your feet flatter on the ground because your thighs are closer together. The shaping of the tailbone area sets you deeper in the seat. In fact, ( I am a back rest convert) with the seat modified, I set so deep in it that the rise of the back of the seat actually acts like a back rest and I don't need to buy a back rest - it is, in essence, now built in. Did two iron butts and honestly and embarrassingly I didn't need an "Iron" butt to do them. Thanks to Rick. Hope this helps. He is a seat genius. If you were to attempt this stuff yourself, you might get it right after 5 years of trying. VentureFar...

Absolutely top quality workmanship in every way. I have done many 500-600 mile day rides since then and I would put Rick's workmanship and skill against ANY expensive seat that is out there. He won't let you down I assure you....and he stands 110% behind all his work. Boomer....who sez ya can't beat the comfort of a Butler seat mod....unless ya mount a recliner on yer scoot.....
glupanow Posted March 26, 2014 #15 Posted March 26, 2014 I got by seats back from Rick very quickly after I sent them and I finally got a chance to get on and ride. I spent a couple of hours on there last weekend and can really tell a difference. First of all, it doesn't push me up against the gas tank anymore, and it feels much more plush - it absorbs a lot of the previously annoying bumps. I'm really looking forward to a longer ride and getting my wife on her new seat as well. This was a great mod - well worth the effort and at a great price! Thanks for the work and the great turnaround, Rick.
